That is correct, at least that's the way mine is.

On part #20 (in the exploded view in post #3) there is a nut where part #20 enters the translating tube. Inside the tube (on part #20) there is a rubber, tightening the nut will cause the rubber to crush flat and expand outward causing friction with the translating tube.

If the translating tube turns before the lifting nut (#12) gets to the end of its travel, all the parts just go round and round with the screw (#11) and it stops lifting.

Be careful adjusting the nut... too much and it will be hard on the rest of the components, including the motor and those expensive gears.

I would crank down on the bolt for the spring assist to get as much out of it as you can. Then tighten the nut on the electric lift, little by little.

Once again, lifting a snow thrower with an electric lift is probably pushing the electric lift to its limits. If you have a three point hitch, you could get a Brinly spring assist and add it to your three point hitch, that would really help out a lot.

Some of this post may be hard to understand or I haven't been able to express it well. If there is anything that you don't understand, just ask and maybe someone can help clear it up.

Thanks for all the help, It works great now. With the combo of tightening the nut & cranking in the lift assist.

It's better that it broke now instead of during a major snow storm.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
